HYPE

Weird thought: One of Kabuto's signature senjutsu moves is the White Rage Technique. It sends out constant pulses of chakra to blind and shock opponents, sort of a ninjutsu flashbang. In this continuity, he was probably inspired to make it by Kon's bloodline. It is more or less a bootleg version of what we can do with our Shattershots.

Sorry Laze only got round to one scene, but an hyped, if I figure out what opening we're up to may redraw one pic for it so we are up to date.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTrGOLtQesQ

You prepare yourself for battle as Kabuto dives toward you in his new form, carefully watching the snake connected to him, as it moves independently from the rest of him. Don't want to dodge only to get caught off guard.

You're ready to counterattack, but Kabuto stops just short of you and forms some hand seals before placing his hands on the floor of the cave.

"Sage Art: Inorganic Reanimation!"

Suddenly, the cave's many stalagmites and stalactites move and extend in your direction. You jump to dodge, but they follow you, new ones joining in wherever you jump. The movements are far more complex then you've seen any Earth jutsu. It's like the cave itself is fighting you.

"This jutsu is different than controlling an object with your chakra." Kabuto explains. "It temporarily imbues an object with life, using my chakra. They can then attack you of their own accord. In a cave like this, there's no way you can dodge for long."

Kabuto's right. Despite your enhanced agility, the spires of rock get closer and closer. You're being attacked from all sides, and a counterattack in any single direction would leave you open. You're just about to be struck, when a huge red figure surrounds you and blocks the attacks. Looking to your right, you see the Hokage standing next to you. This must be his Susanoo.

"Kon. I need... your help to get him in my Sharingan technique." the Sixth pants. "I need to get an opportunity... to repeat an action against him. I apologize, but you will likely need to protect me... for a time."

Itachi takes a deep breath, then turns from you to look at the spears of earth around the two of you.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames consume the earthen spires, and the cave begins to warp back to a more natural state. Itachi shuts off his flames and drops his Susanoo, his breath heavy and labored once more. You see Kabuto dive behind some of the stalagmites in the cave's distance.

Pretty cool, anon. You forgot Tenten's flak jacket, though

>>46356813
Hopefully it will protect us from the vibration effects of the White Rage Technique, we'll still be blinded but at least we'll be able to maneuver using our chakra sensing. It's just his normal chakra that's infused into his Suigetsu-derived slime trails, our senjutsu should pick him out from them just fine.

>>46356780
>>B.Go into Impact Sage Mode
As an aside: would it be possible to turn our ultimate into some bullshit combination jutsu with the rest of team seven like Naruto and Sasuke did with Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero?
If so, how salty would Madera be if we named it "will of fire" and beat him with it?

>>46356780
>>B.Go into Impact Sage Mode

>>46356740
Tenten butt sticking out.

>>46356965
I'm sure something like that will happen at some point

>>46356995
Can we manage all 5 elements?

>>46356995
It would be weird if it didn't. Combo attacks are where it's at, when it comes to dealing with Ten-Tails hosts. No single attack is going to be strong enough to match them on its own. I propose a Kongoshu and Amaterasu Arrow blended together into one attack, with Kiba in his giant wolf form (with possibly as many as nine heads, if Kakashi's nin-dogs have been taught the technique like Akamaru has) warped in right after it by Kakashi's Kamui to hit with a Fang Over Fang.

>>46356780
>B.Go into Impact Sage Mode
>D.Stay here and use long range attacks to force Kabuto out
Start to pulse our own chakta through the cave, I want to see what happens when our Anti body blending chakra does when it meets Kabuto....

>>46356965
So our new jutsu warps space-time to get attacks to miss, right? Maybe we could use it to create a swirling ring of impact chakra, charge up said ring to ludicrous levels, then release it in any direction we choose?

>>46357150
Oh, that's a good point. We disrupt Sakon and Ukon's bloodline, and Kabuto is relying on that to keep his collection of copied bloodlines stable. We could wind up doing a lot of damage to him, I would expect that at the very least we'd cause his navel-clones to fall off.

>>46357150
Thats an intresting point, our Chakra fucks up things that merge so what would it do to a guy whos made of it? would he loose control of edo tensei?

You're going to need to be better protected for this fight. Kabuto seems to have all manner of attacks, and you should leave yourself vulnerable to as few of them as possible.

You stand alert for a while, gathering the chakra you need to don your chakra cloak and enter Impact Sage Mode. No sooner than you do, do you see something fired from deeper in the cave. It's not aimed at either of you, however. You glance around you to see that they are in fact, spider webs. Kabuto seems to have used them to creature obstructions to your maneuvering in the cave. You get the feeling that they're somehow familiar. Likely the very same jutsu that Kidomaru used when you fought him years ago. Who knows what all abilities Kabuto may have added to himself.

As you get ready to respond in kind, Itachi starts to stumble forward.

Call out to Kabuto. "For someone who claims to be a dragon, you're oddly unwilling to fight openly. The dragon doesn't skulk in the shadows, it rages across the sky. You're still the same ground-hugging snake you always were!"

Itachi said he needs to do some action if he wants to perform his sharingan technique. As concerned as you are about his condition, you can't just hold him back if you want this to work. You'll have to support him from here.

You knock down a hole bunch of pillars near the Hokage just in case, keeping a close eye as he makes his approach. You're able to catch Kabuto as he makes a dive for Itachi.

"Impact Release: Shattershot!"

Kabuto is struck, but instead of getting knocked back, he seems to collapse into a puddle.

"Don't think I don't remember what your release can do, Kon." Kabuto tells you. "With this ability I got from Suigetsu, I can liquiefy my body and protect it from vibrations. It likely wouldn't help me if you got your hands right on me, but I of course know better than to let that happen."

As Kabuto jumps back again, you can see what looks like Kimimaro emerging from his stomach.

"Braken Dance!"

At Kabuto's word, bones rise from the floor of the cave, threatening to impale the Hokage. You blast them to the best of your ability, but the nature of the attack makes it difficult to stop. The Hokage is forced to jump back to your position to avoid it. With the opening, Kabuto once again makes his way to cover.

You can see the color draining from Itachi's face by the minute.

>A.Say something to Itachi (Write-in)

>>46357632
Actually, I think we're probably going to be the one used as a weapon. Think about it: We don't have a giant chakra projection mode, unlike Sasuke or Naruto. So what's going to happen once Obito starts the giant chakrazord part of the fight? We're going to embed ourselves inside Sasuke's Susanoo sword and power it up.

>>46357676
>>B.Don't leave Kabuto anything to hide behind this time

>>46357714
That got my dick hard. We shoot out kongoshos for projectiles.

>>46357632
>>46357593
Now that i think about

Was there ever any fight in naruto where two or more allies would use each other like weapons kinda like in jackie chan movies when they combine moves and shit to overwhelm their enemies?

I'm not saying we should do that to our taijutsu gifted friends but we should totally do that

>>46357676
>>B.Don't leave Kabuto anything to hide behind this time

>>46357676
>>B.Don't leave Kabuto anything to hide behind this time
Have a mud clone give Itachi those pills she gave before the 5 kage meeting...hey its still in the items tab and i remembered, give Itachi his pills.

Wise Monkeys + Uchiha = Super Sense Hax

Can we support Itachi by stacking monkeys on him?

>>46357676

>>46357796
>>46357733
Have the mud clone heal, this shits basic and pass him the pills while the real us levels this place.

>>46357714
Oozaru?

>>46357819
Oozaru senjutsu fusion.

He's probably the only summon who can handle the impact release, and do it on a large scale.

>>46357676
>B.Don't leave Kabuto anything to hide behind this time
So, uh, not the most polite thing but I feel it needs to be said: If Itachi does die here, I want to take his eyes. It doesn't take that long to transplant a Sharingan, we could have them swapped in and adapted to them in time for the next stage of the fight. We need the power up, and Itachi is the sort of person who would say some "don't waste this" or "carry on my legacy" thing so he'd probably request us to do it himself if he lasted long enough to get out those last words.

>>46357676
>>46357796
>>46357733
Heal the bloody cripple before he keels over on us

>>46357819
Depends on if he knows senjutsu. Only nature chakra can harm Obito when he's in his giant chakrazord mode. Which means that if Oozaru can't use it Sasuke's going to have to fight him alone. He's the only one who has the combo of senjutsu and giant chakrazord. Naruto has the chakrazord, and might have senjutsu too (despite there being no one to teach him that, but there was no way for him to learn Nine Tails Chakra Mode either and he has that, so...) but he's unlikely to have pulled his heel-face turn at that point since it's Madara he's against, not Obito. Our best bet would be boosting Sasuke's strength.

>>46357796
Supporting this

>>46357896
What we will need to do is wrap Oozaru in the Chakrazord like they do in canon at some point and fill it with nature chakra, BEHOLD THE APEZORD!

>>46357956
That could work. They actually do that in the Obito chakrazord fight for Kurama in canon, so wrapping Oozaru in Susanoo would be appropriate.

As long as Kabuto has things to hide behind, every approach is going to go the same way. You need to give him no room for cover. Though you are worried about the Hokage. His condition looks to be getting worse and worse.

"Lord Itachi, do you have any more of those pills?" you ask. "You might want to take one. You look like you're in bad shape."

"I already went one over my dose back when we fought Madara." the Sixth coughs, reaching into his cloak. "But I suppose one more won't kill me. Desperate times, desperate measures."

While Itachi downs one more pill, you take to blasting away every rock formation you can see. It takes a while, but eventually the entire cave is clear. You see Kabuto standing, preparing a jutsu.

"A wise move, depriving me of a way to keep out of your line of sight." Kabuto says. "But I have other methods."

"Sage Art: White Rage Technique!"

A white dragon emerges from Kabuto's mouth, carrying a black orb. It travels a distance, then explodes in a painful flash of light and sound.

You can't see or hear, and the pain is distracting. It takes a few moments for you to adjust to it, but you can still use your Sage senses. Kabuto is moving towards you, seemingly unimpeded by his jutsu.

Adjust our cloak so that it absorbs the oserlation in the air.

Do this in his direction for infront of Itachi it will force him to liquefy then stick your hand in the puddle and pulse some impact chakra into it, lets see what happens...

I hope Kon memorized the signs for moms jutsu.

Basically let him hit our shield and then turn on the electricity and shock him with his own power.

Tell me why we can't kill him, again? Oh, because of that "even if you kill me, the zombies won't go away" thing? Prove it. The only people to ever say that are the people who don't want to be killed so that the zombies will go away. Tobirama never says anything about that, and he invented the technique. I'm pretty sure it's bullshit.

You can move around like this, but the Hokage likely can't. You need to make sure he stays safe. You hurry and get in front of him, ready to respond to any attacks Kabuto sends your way.

As Kabuto gets close, you raise a barrier in front of you, and expel Impact chakra, hoping to push him back. You can sense Kabuto hit the barrier, knocking him backward for a time. It seems to have stunned him, as the light and sound wear off before he tries another attack. Itachi manages to recover as well.

"Kon, I think the best way to do this is to let him attack me." the Hokage tells you. "If he strikes at me with a more basic attack, it's easier for me to replicate. I just need you to keep him from getting too far away, or from using any of his larger jutsu. We need to keep pressure on him for this to work, he's too flexible if we let him be."

You and the Hokage begin to close in on Kabuto.

>D.Blast him before he can use another jutsu

>A.Draw your weapon, try to bind him
Run lightning chakra through it, liquefaction won't protect him from that. Should probably make it worse, even, since it's based on Suigetsu and he's weak to lightning.

So, instead of just leaving him there in the genjutsu after Itachi forces him to release the Edo Tensei like they do in canon, can we just kill Kabuto, real quiet like? I don't want him doing the "oh, yes, I see I was wrong, now let me help your briefly and that will make up for my role in causing this problem in the first place so much that you'll let me run an orphanage instead of imprisoning me" shtick.

>>46358848
No anon, no we can't or the dead forever roam the earth.

>>46358932
No, kill him AFTER he releases the Edo Tensei. In canon Sasuke just leaves him standing there, supposedly forever, but he actually breaks out of it within a day or two. He winds up healing Sasuke while Sakura's busy healing Naruto, but Naruto isn't on our side so Sakura will be free to heal him in this timeline. So we have no need for him, and therefore no reason to forgive him for his crimes. I say we just kill him.

>>46358982
Uh... You miss Naruto's heel-face turn for this war? Also, what if the same situation comes up but replace Naruto with Kon?

>>46358982
Yeah no dude, Kabuto likes us to an extent. Keep him alive. you the only one who wants him dead. He more use alive and his research can help us prep for "the last" and "boruto"

>>46358848
>>46358982
But in the genjutsu he will soon become a good ally.

>>46359018
>Uh... You miss Naruto's heel-face turn for this war?
He's not going to survive, anyway. In canon they heal him after Madara rips Yang Kurama out of him by transplanting Yin Kurama. But in this continuity Madara will already have Yin Kurama. Naruto's going to die if that scenario comes up, nothing we could do about it.

>Also, what if the same situation comes up but replace Naruto with Kon?
I'm willing to take that risk. We still wouldn't need him. Tsunade won't have been recently ripped in half by Madara, since she wasn't one of the Kage fighting him since she's not a Kage here. So she'll be free to heal whichever one of us Sakura doesn't.

>>46358708
B

>>46359092
1) Tsunade is already low on hakra having to save the Kage and everyone else.
2)We are not willing to risk it
3)Naru maaayyyy survive and be useful, no reason to hate (ok maybe a little).
4)We are not killing the Snake Nerd

>>46359140
We didn't even call snake nerd

We should mock his snake nerdiness before we kill him at leastI'd vote for him to live but thats just me

>>46359092
So... You just want to kill him because he's out lived his usefulness in your mind even though he can turn over a new leaf?

You just want to kill because you get off on that shit, don't you? Kon isn't going to kill someone he holds mutual respect for if possible, it's not in-character.

>>46359079
>>46359084
>>46359140
Alright, fine. Can we at least take him with us, and have him locked up, instead of just letting him wander around once he breaks out of the genjutsu? Make at least some token acknowledgement of the fact that he's one of the main villains and is personally responsible for something like 90% of the deaths in this war and major contributions towards the enslavement of all mankind?

>>46358751
>>46358757
>>46358793

If that's the case, then you'll have to force Kabuto to attack Itachi up close. You focus and start erecting barriers around Kabuto, slowly limiting his range of movement. By the time he notices he's almost entirely blocked off, Itachi is right up on him, kunai drawn. The snake emerging from Kabuto's stomach quickly lunges at the Hokage, but the look in Itachi's eye tells you that that's what he wanted all along. The Hokage explodes into crows upon being hit, his signature substitution. He reappears close to you.

"Halfway done." the Sixth pants.

Before the two of you can mount another attack, Kabuto has gone on the offensive.

"Demonic Illusion: Phantom Sound Chains!"

A woman emerges from Kabuto's stomach with a flute, and plays a tune. Suddenly, you can feel everything start to warp around you. This must be genjutsu. You try to break free, to no avail. However, you catch a glimpse of Itachi's eye.

"Tsukuyomi!"

The Hokage's illusion overrides Kabuto's, setting you free.

>A.Try to break Itachi out

>B.Attack Kabuto to end it

>C.Other

>>46359212
No, I want to kill him because I don't think he should get away with his crimes just because he apologized for them and helped the heroes a single time. There needs to be justice.

>>46359212
im with you even when we killed Orochimaru who had personally wronged us all we felt was disappointed at what he had become, Kon has like zero malice.

>>46359246
>B.Attack Kabuto to end it
Either our Impact chakra messes up his fusion and ends it that way, or it forces him to liquefy and stop playing. Either way, Itachi's freed.

>>46359221
Okay that I agree 100%

>>46359256
And yet you still don't justify it as an action that Kon would reasonably take. You want to take it out of a need to satisfy your desire for justice, but would Kon do that if he could avoid it?

>>46359246
>A
Break Itachi out of it and keep Kabuto trapped here.

>>46359246
>C. Stab Itachi in the leg. Sharp pain typically works for getting people out of Genjutsu.

>>46359246
>A.Try to break Itachi out

>>46359314
Yes. Kon believes in practical measures, this is something we've established. Ending the threat the villain poses permanently is very much something he would do.

>>46359246

You could attack Kabuto, but Itachi needs to finish the steps for his jutsu. You quickly dash toward him before Kabuto can attack, and cut him slightly, enough to jolt him free of the genjutsu.

As Itachi regains his senses, Kabuto sends out several snakes in various directions, ready to attack from a variety of angles. You get to sniping them, as Itachi summons his Susanoo and throws some kind of projectiles. He throws one at the snake coming from Kabuto's stomach, but Kabuto jumps up and lands on the ceiling. This is where you take your chance. You form another barrier, boxing him in. The only way out is straight down. As Kabuto falls, Itachi draws up to him to attack once more. As Kabuto's snake lunges, Itachi tells him something.

"And this is where you trap yourself, Kabuto." the Hokage says, before he bursts into crows again. "Izanami!"

As Itachi reforms a bit away, Kabuto lands and slumps his head down. He doesn't move anymore.

>A.Ask what that was

sidenote, with one of his eyes dead, does that mean that he can no longer chakrazord? If so, cripple-kage is kinda useless to us now. Like, ship his ass out to pasture, he isn't even good at paperwork any more at this point.

We don't need the details of the jutsu. We do need to know what to do with it, though.

Immediately set to work using medical jutsu on Itachi, this fucker aint falling into a coma on us, I swear it. Talk to him stuff while we heal him. Have a mud clone watch Kabuto incase he escapes it.

>>46359677
>>B.Ask if the Hokage is alright

I don't think so. There was no mention of him losing a second eye in this last post, and he used Susanoo during it. He'll be fine.

>C.Ask what to do now
Don't push your luck my lord

Think he'll hallucinate we are Shisui given ho much we look like him and have the same colour chakra?

>>46359852
I think you need both eyes for susanoo

>>46359741
could nick a rinnigan for him...or take his eye from sasuke when he gets a rinnegan?

>>46359885
Nope. You need two to unlock it, but only one to cast it once you have unlocked it. Shisui, Sasuke and Madara all demonstrate that ability. And since Shisui does it, we know it's not limited to those with Six Paths bullshit.

>>46359866
I think Itachi's been seeing us as Shisui for a long time, now. It wouldn't be surprising if that turned literal for him.

So on the one hand, I really don't want Itachi to die, because he's awesome. On the other, I really want to harvest his corpse for power ups. It makes for a tough decision which way to lean in my hopes.

>>46360423
U wot m8

>>46360423
You know, if we get Itachi's eyes, we technically have Sauce's eyes.

>>46360489
Look, I want Itachi to live. He's a really cool dude, and our friendship with him is one of the better bits of characterization in the quest. But those eyes, man. We are not strong enough to fight Obito or Madara, the eyes would change that. If we could get the eyes without him dying first, that would be ideal. But I just don't think it would be likely for him to survive and say "I'm too weak to keep fighting, take my eyes and finish the job for me".

>>46360575
I dont think most people here would vote to take his eyes unless he straight up offered them to us

>>46360423
>On the other, I really want to harvest his corpse for power ups.
You're a sick motherfucker.

>>46360604
Yeah, but him telling us to take them as he lays dying is actually somewhat plausible, so that could happen.

>>46360575
Thats all well and good but we were trained by tsunade at some point in our lives so making sure that he DOESN'T die is well within our range

>>46360575
Eyes are not trading cards. We can't just trade them around willy nilly. (though i would like to)

Guys, can someone please remind me what the fuck happened to Shisui (aka Best Uchiha) in this timeline?

>>46360674
Same as in the canon timeline. Danzo tried to take his eyes, got one, Shisui fought ROOT off long enough to get to Itachi and give him the other one, then died.

>>46360674
He ded

So now that Kabuto was eye haxed, I guess what's next on our criteria is confronting Obito?

>>46360751
>>46360752
Fuuuuuuck.
And about the whole taking Itachi's eyes thing: It would make talking to Sasuke VERY awkward.
The guy would cry every time we called him "Bro".

>>46360938
No, Next priority is retrieving Taiyaki. Then we can fight Obito. Though going after Taiyaki likely would take us to Obito, so they're linked.

>>46360942
Remember, those are Sasuke's eyes we'd be taking. Itachi's are in Sasuke's head. He'd cry when looking in a mirror, not when talking to us.

>>46360979
First get Takoyaki to safety then punch Obito in the face

>>46361039
And importantly: When Kakashi teleports us to the Kamui dimension so we can strike at Obito's real body, we don't just punch him to break the mask. We hit him with everything we've got.

>>46361099
If be "everything we got" equals "bore a whole into the earth bigger than Adam Sandler's failures" than i'll vote for it

>>46361006
Well, we'd be taking one eye. Sharingan can't be turned off if you're not an Uchiha, so we'd want to cover it up when we're not using it if we go that route.

>>46361184
Given that Sage Art: Kongosho is evidently something like an order of magnitude stronger than canon Naruto's Nine-Tails Rasenshurikens (obliterating the Third Raikage's entire upper half instead of just scratching his armor, smashing apart a Rinnegan asteroid on its own instead of needing a Tailed Beast Ball and a Yasaka Magatama for help), I think such a hole may be possible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbXVmiFr4-8&index=7&list=PL4C928EAF7AA5B906

The battle seemingly over, you drop your chakra cloak and run over to the Hokage.

"Lord Itachi, are you alright?" you ask. "Let me heal you."

"Just a moment... Kon." the Sixth replies. You can see his right eye go dark. "Before you can worry about me, we need to release the Edo Tensei."

Itachi stumbles back over to Kabuto, then looks into his eyes before making Kabuto do some seals.

"So what do we do now, Lord Itachi?" you ask.

"He'll be trapped like this... until he comes to know his true self." Itachi says, breathing heavy. "I've read some of the files left behind upon Root's dissolve. Life was not kind to this boy... But I have wagered an eye that he may become a valuable ally in the future..."

No sooner has Itachi finished, than he falls to the ground. He heaves up a huge amount of blood. You waste no time, and start trying to heal him right away. But the best you can do is heal his wounds from battle. The damage caused by his condition is not possible for you to treat. He's exerted himself far too hard, and overdosing his medication didn't help. His lungs are tearing themselves apart.

"Hang in there, Lord Itachi!" you encourage him, trying your best to get him stable. "You're not dying here!"

"You're right... Kon." Itachi groans. You can hear the slight gurgle of some blood in his throat. "I can't afford... to die here. I have a village to protect... I won't leave it after such a short term as Hokage. They need me... And I... want to keep living. I've pushed my brother away for so long... I want to make it up to him. And I won't let my son... grow up without a father. I won't let... my wife live in guilt of not being here to save me. My clan... Sasuke has worked so hard to try and get them to accept me again... I can't die here..."

"Don't talk, Lord Itachi!" you insist. "Just let me heal you!"

"I'm sorry, Shisui..." the Sixth groans. "I can't join you just yet..."

Best Kage right here man.

>>46361373
I don't know, I'm pretty sure every single Hokage has said something similar while dying. Doesn't make Itachi any less based here, but it does mean he's just living up to the role instead of surpassing it.

Actually, wait, Minato didn't. His death was just "hey, son, be awesome". No wonder his kid grew up to be a little shit, he didn't have the right inspiration. So there we go. Itachi Uchiha: Better Hokage than Minato Namikaze.

Itachi goes completely silent. You feel close to losing him.

Suddenly, you hear someone enter the cave. You keep working, but a glance tells you it's someone you recognize, but haven't seen for a long time. A man with his head wrapped in bandages save for one eye, wearing a Sound headband. Dosu, you believe his name was.

"Your Hokage doesn't look so good." he notes. "You likely won't have luck healing him here. If I were you, I'd take him and go before it's too late."

You don't have time to deal with him, so you ignore him as long as he isn't hostile. Dosu walks up to Kabuto.

"Poor Kabuto." he says, shaking his head. "Looks like you never could get out from Lord Orochimaru's shadow. Though I suppose that's the same for all of us who serve him."

Dosu walks off in another direction after a bit, but you don't see where, you're too occupied. You're not sure you could move the Hokage and keep him alive long enough to get to Tsunade. Then, you hear something.

"Curse Mark Release!"

You glance over to see a snake emerge from Anko's neck, and from the snake's mouth emerges a familiar man.

Orochimaru.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrX-QmcyhIA

"Ah, Dosu, was it?" he asks. "Good work."

"It was nothing, Lord Orochimaru." Dosu replies. "Would you like to recall your forces?"

"Yes, gather them up and have them leave." Orochimaru answers. "They're a waste on this pointless war."

As Dosu leaves the cave, Orochimaru looks at you and the Hokage.

"My, my. That looks serious." he notes. "Tsunade might be the only one that can fully heal him at this point. If he can make it that long, that is. Although... I would likely be able to treat him as well. My biological knowledge is even greater than Tsunade's. It would be a shame for such a splendid Uchiha to die in a cave like this. What do you say?"

He'll be weak, having just come back from the dead. Kill him now while we still have the chance. I don't care if it takes up precious time we could be using to get Itachi to a healer. Orochimaru not coming back is more important than Itachi living, sad as it is to say.

You realize that Tsunade's clearly been busy elsewhere, right? Probably using her chakra to heal an entire goddamn army?

Who says she'll be in a position to take on a critical patient with a condition this tricky?

>>46361499
Why do you keep doing this, Laze? You say that we can't rely on things going as in canon, but any time we get the chance to derail the plot to our benefit you pull shit like this. The stations of canon don't exist except when it would hurt us to visit them. You did this with Obito getting the Rinnegan, you did this with Naruto getting his power ups, now you do this with Orochimaru coming back to life. It's really frustrating.

>>46361499

>A. Please save him.

>>46361846

Come on we can do this...Orochimaru you son of a bitch I can't belive it but im going to have to trust you. We either save him here or move him so he dies infront of sasuke

>>46362228
No, Laze, no. Two of those votes for A were under the mistaken belief that we hadn't had Kabuto release the genjutsu yet. It should be 9 to 11, B wins.

>>46362228
just tell me Laze...did we fuck up.

Here's an idea. We kill the guy after he has stabilized Itachi.

>>46362228
>>46362261
Don't listen to him, Laze. Go with A.

>>46362228
Well congratulations, idiots, you just lost us Itachi. Good job. And even if by some slim chance Orochimaru doesn't betray us here, now we owe him, and every other time we interact with him he'll do some bullshit "And after you begged me to save Itachi" speech. You fuckers.

>>46362261
as one of those voters fuckit im happy with how Laze called it

Rolled 1 (1d2)

>>46362299
Then you're an idiot and deserve what you get. But whatever, 10 vs, 10. Let's flip a coin.

>>46362228
Don't change Laze, The gods have spoken

>>46362298
I trust Orochimaru! He was a good asset in canon! Maybe he'll be the same here!
Sasuke is going to hate us if we fucked this up.

>>46362334
Okay, 1, so it is the stupid choice. I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

>>46362298
We don't owe him shit. He killed Sarutobi sensei, this balances it out. Kill one Hokage, save another.

So long as we don't LITERALLY beg, which I'd hate Laze for doing, I can deal with it.

>>46362344
We did.

>>46362387
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!!!!!!!

>>46362383
Doesn't change how he's going to act. Orochimaru's too much of a dick to see it in those terms.

>>46362411
Yes I do. Any deal with Orochimaru is inherently the wrong choice. This thread has made a great mistake, and I hope it doesn't come back to haunt us too much.

>>46362463
Your point? Just because someone says you owe them doesn't mean you do.

Seriously, this whole thing felt like the single most scripted encounter of the quest. Snake Nerd is written as unbeatable without Itachi massively weakening himself, Dosu shows up and revives Orochimaru without any opportunity to even wonder "hey what is this asshole doing here", let alone interacting with him, and now it's either Itachi dies getting him to Tsunade or Orochimaru possesses him. And probably runs off with his body while calling us a faggot with zero opportunity to interfere with him, either because we "didn't realize what was happening" or were "too tired from the chakra expenditure".

>>46362498
Tsunade is too far away. Itachi would probably die.

>>46362501
My point is that he's going to use this to slander our good name and make life miserable for us when he inevitably starts committing atrocities again.

>>46362520
Yes, agreed. This was kind of a bullshit thread.

>Itachifags going ballistic ITT.

I love the smell of shadowrunner's tears in the morning.

Whiniest bitches of the bunch.

>>46362624
I'm not even shadowrunning. I just don't want to in any possible way be considered beholden to Orochimaru. He's our worst enemy, remember? Why would we accept his offer of help now, after all the shit he's pulled?

>>46362666
Nice try Satan. I won't believe your lies!

>>46362624
I really hope this doesn't go into the route of Orochimaru going: "Hey guys, Kon gave me Itachi's body! Kukukuku, what a dumbass!"

>>46362690
If it's not going there, it's going somewhere similar. Maybe "Hey, guys, Kon let me plant a curse seal on Itachi, now I control the Hokage! Kukukuku, what a dumbass!"

>>46362794
If that happens we straight up kill Itachi, become a missing nin and hunt down Orochimaru and kill him as many times as he's going to resurrect.

So, are we just going to surrender to Obito and Madara, now? Because we've established this precedent that we value ourselves and our friends living over defeating the villains and preventing their plans, so we have no reason to keep fighting at this point.

>>46362865
We can just be quiet about this. Anko is knocked out and if we kill Orochimaru and his minions no one will know a damn thing. He died helping us fight Kabuto.

>>46362913
Yes, but you and I both know that's not going to happen. Orochimaru is going to get away somehow, and come back to torment us.

I bet Laze is watching, thinking "what a bunch of fucking retards."

>>46362943
Fuck it we'll leave the war to hunt down this fucker. I don't care if we end up in the infinite tsukuyomi if it means we get to kill this fucker.

Honestly, it'd be a pretty dick move for Laze to have Snakeshitter try and body swap. Itachi's condition is literally incurable and one of his eyes is already gone: he's a prime example of what the Uchiha can do, but by Orochimaru's standards he's a damaged specimen.

It's Orochimaru. You would never trust him. And yet...

"Can you really save him?" you ask. "Why would you, what's in it for you?"

"I can." Orochimaru replies. "Free of charge, even. My payment will be the opportunity to see what amazing things he accomplishes in the future. I'm far too interested to see what happens to let him die here. People are so much more interesting while they're alive."

You don't like it, but you can't let Itachi die. Not if there's any chance to save him.

"Do it." you demand. "But I'm watching you."

"Of course." Orochimaru walks up to Kabuto. "What I need should be here..."

You see some of Kabuto's snake-like complexion fade. In a moment, Orochimaru pulls out some sort of white goo from Kabuto.

"As I expected." he says. "Kabuto was using these Zetsu cells. They will be able to save Itachi."

You move slightly out of the way, as Orochimaru examines Itachi. He takes the bottle of pills and looks at it closely, then cuts Itachi open. You remain ready to attack Orochimaru at the slightest provocation, as he starts putting some of the Zetsu cells in Itachi's chest cavity and molding them.

"These Zetsu cells really are quite amazing." Orochimaru says, not stopping his work. "They can be molded into any type of body part, replacing bone, muscle, or skin. You can make entire replacement limbs with them, or even organs. The potential uses in the medical field are staggering. I'm very interested in studying them to their full potential. People with previously untreatable injuries might function better than they ever could before. It would be very interesting to see who all could make the greatest use of such cells."

You watch closely, and while it is unorthodox, Orochimaru is treating the areas weakened by Itachi's condition. He hasn't made a single movement contrary to saving Itachi so far.

There's nothing worth saying to him. He knows we hate him, we know the war is pointless, so let's just stay focused. And still insist on Tsunade doing a scan of Itachi the moment she has the chance to, because I don't trust Orochi8maru to have not installed some sort of parasitic snake nonsense.

so do you know who tobi actually is, we thought madara but then we saw his Edo Tensei?

>>46363571

>>46363571
>>B.Ask why he thinks this war is pointless
Is it because if we all enter a dream none of us are really alive? What happens to the bodies left behind...I doubt Madara would join us in this "dream world" i'm betting he wants to rule this one.

>>46363625
I'd argue hitting him with a Kongosho would be better. Destroy him completely, much better way to deal with him.

>>46363571
D. 'I still hate you. And so as much as it pains me to say this, we need all the help we can get. If you don't help us fight Madara, a whole lot of interesting people will be dead and then things will get VERY boring'

This, You cant bring yourself back to been good, but you may be able to at-least show that your not 100% bad. Did you see everything from within Anko?

>>46363687
at first I thought of that too but all other attacks we know can be dodged while it's hard to escape a Nebula Sphere without true teleportation.

We are not killing Orochimaru (atleast not yet), he has more use in this war and may in fact be of more use still. (we may however kill him further down the line).

>>46363738
Yeah, but we're point blank. I think we could get him.

>>46363742
That's the sort of thinking that led to him managing to do so much evil the first time around. Learn from the mistakes of the past, stop him now while we still can.

Really nigga? Stop getting so salty over a fanfiction on an imageboard.

>>46363842
I'm willing to give him a chance to repay his actions, he is off to a good start, like Kabuto they will never be "good" but they may get to neutral and if they really work at it in time they may be accepted. But be under no illusions if they fuckup we're coming down on them and coming down hard.

>>46363902
Okay.

I support this.

My internet goes down for an hour and you faggots let the snake fucker root around in Itachi's insides. This is gonna be interesting.

We have nothing to say to him. The people trying to convinced him to do good are forgetting that Kon has no reason to thnk that any good can ever come from Orochimaru. We're only letting him do this much because we're desperate, we're not going to ask for his help in areas where we're doing fine.

>>46363966
THAT is your reasoning?

Do you know how many people 'Second' a vote by using the 'Second' or 'Seconded'? Or 'This'. Or in this case 'Supporting'

You aren't the smartest person are you?

You stay silent and keep watching Orochimaru closely. You don't have anything you want to say to him right now.

Orochimaru keeps treating Itachi, molding the Zetsu cells to create new blood vessels in the lungs. He seems to have used some kind of jutsu to induce artificial respiration as he works.

"You know boy, I saw several things when I gathered my chakra from Kabuto." Orochimaru says. "The Edo Tensei he raised were programmed to avoid killing whenever possible. They were told to aim for removing arms, or otherwise incapacitating the enemy. I'm willing to bet nearly all of your alliance's deaths were caused by the Paths of that false Madara and his Zetsu. And Kabuto did it at the insistence of Naruto. There truly is no end to that boy's naivete."

Orochimaru checks over his work, then sews Itachi up. You can see his chest start to rise and fall lightly.

"That should make him stable, for a time." Orochimaru stands. "But he really should get to Tsunade. I also wish to tell her of how to utilize the Zetsu cells. We want to make sure there aren't any complications. Besides, there are probably plenty of Zetsu cells left lying around. She'll be ecstatic to know she can use them for prosthetics for all the dismembered ninja in your alliance."

You check Itachi one more time, and he seems okay to move. Orochimaru intends to join you in going to Tsunade.

Tsuande figured it out just fine in canon. We don't need him.

>>46364107

also i'm curious as to your revival, are you as you were when you died or as you where when you placed the seal used to revive you?

>>46364107

Yeah, that's enough help we'll need from him.

>>46364107
>>A.Let him join you
OK i'll need to be there...oh boy this is gonna be tense...

>E.Do something about Kabuto
Bring him and Anko with us...

>>46364107
>B.Refuse, take Itachi and Anko and leave by yourself
No, stop trusting him. This is stupid, you're all being stupid.

>>46364107
>>A.Let him join you

All else fails, he is an intellenge asset. Also if Madra is still going around, things are going to go to shit.

>>46364107

>>46364107

Tsuande knowing how to use Zetsu cells is a pretty big boon.

>>46364107
>B.Refuse, take Itachi and Anko and leave by yourself

>>46364154
dude get over it we're keeping the snakes and if he's as bad as you say he may have an insurance policy in Itachi so we still need him

>>46364107
>A.Let him join you

you bring Kabuto ill bring Anko and Itachi, Tsunade may kill you, you know

>>46364107
>D.Say something to Orochimaru (Write-in)
"You do know there's an Edo Tensei Madara running around now, right? The second I get these two to Tsunade someone's got to come up with an answer to him that doesn't involve us dying."

>>46364107
>C.Attack Orochimaru
AHAHAHA NOPE

>>46364207
She figures it out on her own in canon, she can do it here.

Can we guaranteed kill Orochimaru right now, we have been fighting for a while.

>>46364107
>A.Let him join you.

>>46364254
Yes.

>>46364107

>A.Let him join you
You know this doesn't undo all the damage you have done, nor does it earn you forgiveness...Though I doubt that will bother you.

>D.Say something to Orochimaru (Write-in)
Help me bring Kabuto, Itachi and Anko

I don't know what I am more curious about.

To see if everything goes to shit by trusting Orochi a little.

Or getting to see the tears of some people if nothing goes wrong.

We need to bring him with us
>F
Don't forget the other and your Sound Nin better be leaving, are you still gonna try to destroy the Leaf?

>>46364294
as one of the two people voting to attack him I hope we can trust him but I don't think the benefits of snake-asshole staying alive outweigh the cons even if every single ninja in the combined shinobi forces dies.

>>46364294
Oh nothing will go wrong for now. I fully believe that he'll keep to his word until such time as this is over. But then he'll go free in the epilogue, and start doing awful things again, and it will be our fault. All because...I don't know what people are thinking to get out of this, I really don't. Orochimaru has nothing to offer us. He's not going to be useful during this fight, he's too weak to matter when fighting Obito, Madara or Kaguya and not good enough of a healer to make an appreciable dent in our casualties against them. So what, are people hoping he'll give us some sort of biotech upgrade? Because we all know he's not going to do that.

>We are pretty much indicted to Orochimaru.
I really hope he doesn't have a fine print for his services.

>>46364107

Your gonna have some explaining to do, besides you need to help me carry everyone.

At least Orochimaru coming with you will mean he isn't off somewhere else messing things up.

"Fine." you tell him. "You carry Kabuto then."

He does so, while you carefully manage to hold both Anko and Itachi, and the two of you take off in the direction of the Medical camp. It takes a bit to get there, but you eventually arrive. The place is hectic, medics rushing everywhere to and fro. You can see a bunch of tiny slugs all over, treating people that won't be reachable for a while. Things are so busy, that nobody people notices Orochimaru until he's at the gate.

"W-what is this?" one guard stammers. "Why is Orochimaru here?"

"I'm here to assist Tsunade." Orochimaru answers. "I have some information that will likely be very valuable concerning the condition of your Hokage here."

He gestures toward Itachi, and the guards jump a bit before immediately calling for Tsunade. When she arrives, the look on her face is one of complete shock.

"Orochimaru?" she gasps. "But you're dead! We killed you!"

"For a time." Orochimaru answers. "But you have bigger problems right now. Your Hokage here still needs treatment to survive, and the Zetsu cells will prove essential for both him and your alliance. I am here to help you utilize them."

Tsunade is still skeptical, but the situation is too critical to waste any time. She calls people over to take the three people you carried here, then addresses Orochimaru again.

"You're not leaving my sight, you understand?" she tells him. "One wrong move and you're dead again."

"I wouldn't dream of it, Tsunade." Orochimaru replies. "We need to secure a future with this battle, and I intend to see it."

Before heading back into camp, Tsunade turns to you.

"Kon, we need you to get back out to the battlefield as fast as you can." she tells you.

So the next thread may not be for a week or two, got a few things that will take up a lot of my time. Don't know exactly when it will be, so stay posted

Twitter is @LazeQM

>>46364887
That's fine. Thanks for running, Laze. See you next time, whenever that turns out to be.

Thanks to the anon responsible for the archival

>>46364887
Thanks Laze, QaA?

I'm assuming Itachi would have bled out and Tsunade would have become Hokage after having flashbacks to what she said when we first met her.

How Kabuto doing in his Head?

How Is the fight VS Obito going? How about Naruto vs the Tailed Beast Crew? We in time for any of that?

Where is Tyaki at the moment, is the Three Tails out?

How are the Other Kage doing?

Sasuke doing ok

Kakashi asked why Madara killed Rin yet?

Man, this was a tense thread.
